A short time since the daughter of a

jeweler's shop, went in and selected a
turquoise-and diamond ring valued at
$250. She made out her check for that
sum and passed it to the proprietor,
who glanced at it and then looked in-
quiringly up at the young lady and
said, "There is some mistake here. I
think."
The young lady flushed and asked if
the check was not for the right amount.
She was, told it was, but-
"But what ?" she exclaimed frigidly.
"Do you mean that my check is not ac-
ceptable ?"
The jeweler acknowledged that he
knew quite well who the young lady
was, but explained that the check was
not made out just as it should be, and
he handI:.d it back. The girl ran her eye
over it and then turned a deep crimson.

Tle Sun's motion.
An astroioinical fact now as former-
ly causing no little perplexity-to some
is that the sun's motion-which un-
questionably and indisputably is ex-
tremely quick-does not change the
relative position of the solar system to
the fixed stars and the constellations
1 *', than it actually does, and there
Irv ,ome who op this account are in-
clined to doubt the actual motion of
the sun In space.
The investigations of astronomers
have nevertheless established one thing
as certain-namely, that the sun moves
through space at a great speed-esti-
mated by some scientists at 16 miles a
second-carrying all the plInets, satel-
lites and other comical bodies along
with it, but this motion of the vast
luminary, while affect-lg. of conrs-e.

affect the relative motion of sun and

Even under the supposition of so
great a rate as 16 miles in one second.
this relative position of the sun to the
fixed stars would, astronomers declare.
be hardly perceptible in a century, on
account of the almost inconceivable
distance of the latter-the conclusion
being, therefore, that many thousands of
years must pass before the sun's proper
motion in space can change the config-
uration of the star groups.

Dangers of Filters.
Filters for purifying water are of
many kinds in their mechanical struc-
ture, but, according to the report of the
Maryland state board of health, it
would appear that such filters may
steadily lose efficiency until they be-
come first class culture beds for bacteria.
In evidence of this position an example
cited is that of a man in Baltimore who
ends the whole water supply of his
house through a large filter and subse-
quently puts his drinking water through
one of the small domestic filters com-
mon in the market
A test of this arrangement showed
that on a day when the city taps were
running 510 bacteria to the cubic cen-
timeter the large filter was delivering
some 9,900 bacteria in the same water
When the large filter was repacked.
only 9 bacteria per centimeter got
through it, though this same water
when passed through the small filter
came out with 71 bacteria per centi-
meter.
This aspect of the matter is still fur-
ther strengthened by another example.
a case where a filter supposed to be the
best in the market was in use. The
effectiveness of this filter was so short
lived that the precaution was observed
of boiling the water after it was filtered.

ean tube. When this tube gets inflamed
you have a rumbling sound or imperfect
hearing, and when it is entirely closed
deafness is the result, and unless the in-
flam;irmtion can be taken out and ttis tube
restored to its normal condition, hearing
will be destroyed forever; nine cases out
of ten are caLsed by catarrh, which is
nothing but an inflamed condition of the
mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of deafness (caused by catarrh)

Here is a story of a Milwaukee couple
who agreed to separate after 15 years
of married life: They continued to re-
side within a block of each other and
to pass the time of day impersonally
when they met. When.the silver anni-
versary of the wedding came on, both
celebrated it, although separately. Two
church ceremonies were performed in
the church where they were wedded 25.
years before, the husband's ceremony
being at 8 o'clock in the morning and
the wife's at 9. That evening each gave
a reception at the residence at the same
hour, and the same friends called to
pay their respects, successively going
from one house to the other.-Milwau-

Bamboo Fort iffcathnon.
Throughout the east the banimbo play
an important role in nearly every kind
of outdoor work. In building earth-
works it is utilized very ch:verly iind,',;d.
In sandy soil or in the soft loa'm along
the swarnna two rows of i-'i aoo n.re
driven, about f;ur feet ap'-rt. The
l:u-,lths of bamboo are about 10 or 13
feet long, and the thickness is about
tour inches. Earth or ea.d is thrown in
between the rows cf bawnboo, multing a
litch in-front of the stockade. A third
row of bamboo is then driven four feet
in the. rear of the inner row. but this
row rises only a couple of feet abowv the
natural level of the soil. More earth or
sand is tilled in, and the filling in each
case is rammed down as hard as possi-
ble.

't'., To secure for you the best and most interesting of the great illusi
treated magazines at the lowest possible price has been the atm of the
editor of this journal. That we have succeeded we leave our reAders
to judge. A special contract recently entered into with The Cosmo-

enabled us to offer you a year's subscription to the greatest of the ilus.
treated magazines together with a year's subscription to this journal,

In this way you secure your own home paper and an illustrated
magazine at a price that is only about a fourth of what some of the
illustrated magazines sell for. For three years The Cosmopolitan has
undisputedly claimed that it reached the largest clientele possessed by
any periodical, daily, weekly or monthly, in the world. It was The
Cosmopolitan which sent Julian Hawthorne to India to let the world
know the real horrors of famine and plague. It was The Cosmopol.
itan which established at its own cost a great Free Correspondentc

After placing on yourbook-table the best of the illustrated magazines
in connection with your home paper, probably 'the most important'

'Te purpose of this Company is to Improve the Country adjacent toS t.
Andrews Bay and to
Develop its Resources as a Fruit-Growing Country.
'lo- accomplish this the Company proposes to Sell Lands in tractsof Two-
and-a-half and FiveAeres to such parties only as will improve them by the
Erection of Houses. Fences and such Permanent Improvements as will enhance the
value of each tract so disposed of, and particularly to
Plant them out in Trees, Plants and Vines.
T Lote end' that in the shortest practicable time every such tract shall be a
Source of Revenue to its Owner.

AS TO RELIABILITY

OF THE

COMPANY.

The first question which will naturally be asked will be: "Is this Comn-
pany reliable"? And the answer to it is: Any person; employing the Comoanv
to make improvements may deposit an approximate payment of the estimated cost o'l
the same with any responsible business man or firm doing business on the Bay or in
Bank at their own home to be paid over only when the Company shall satisfacto-
rily show that the improvements have been made according to agreement.
The C-ompany will not only improve and plant, but watch and care for
all property entrusted to its keepiing,guarding against forest fires, dishonest pilferers
for damages from any cause possible to be prevented.
From a careful estimate of the probable expense and income of a fruit
plantatioii in the St. Andrews Bay country a few figures are given -%
' Price of;ana per acre, say $25 to $50; cost of clearing, say $20; -ost of planting 1st
year, say $30; cost of cultivation each year thereafter, $20,
It is not extriavaan-t to e.stiumte that a I-acre vineyard will on the third
year, if properly cultirated., yield .$',21 worth of fruit and of r.caches neariv or quiteC
.the same, while fi-'s ehoiuld do een better than that. Then, tlhoi'.,i pcrhli.,r. a little
longer, some of them, in coming into profitable bearing may be named pears, apricots,
nectarines, Vlums, prunes, mulberries, olives, Japan persimmons almonds English
w.lnuts, Japat. chestnuts, pecans,.and m..any other varieties of fruits and nuts. which
are almost certain to flourish here; while oranges and citrus fruits, though not con-
sidered certain yieldlarge returns oftener than they miss
The Secretary of the Company will give particular attention to an-
sweringletters of inquiry, and the Buo-y will in its answers t.o correspondents an-
swer all questions asked it,

community had permitted Herr Tappan
to send his son away to a college, for
Hermann was to be the physician of
the community, their Herr Doctor, as
they called him.
Hermnann understood the timidity of.
Annie. He, too, had once been restrain-
ed till all his thoughts were sadness.
He bade the girls take her at once to
4 her mother's cottage, and he watched
them all till Annie had disappeared
through the window
" But why should the young Herr Doe-
tor come to Mother Schweppe's cottage
next day, asking for her famous wine
for his patients?'
"Knowest thou not. I have disposed
-of it long before this time?" cried
Mother Schweppe.
"I thought perhaps .thou mightst be
making it again," faltered Hermann.
"Make wine in June? What Sort of
a man!" And Mother Schweppe laughed
loudly and unmelodiously, much as one
of her cabbages might have laughed.
And while her dull eyes were closed
in mirth Hermann crushed into An-
nie's hand a bit of paper, and Annie,
child- though she was, hid herself among
the grapevines before she dared to open
it.
"Thou art most beautiful l I love
thee." That was all.
After that it was easy for Annie to
climb down by the grapevine from her
window, and once she went alone with
Hermann far down the solitary railroad
track. But Madge loved Hermann, too,
in her way, and, being jealous, she told
Annie's mother.
The next day the elders came to

I found them in a book last night,
These withered violets,
A token of that early love
That no man e'er forgets.
Pressed carefully between the leaves,
They keep their color still.
I cannot look at them today
Without an old time thrill.
Ah, me, what tricks does memory play
The passing years have fled
And hopes that lived in vigor once,
Alas! have long been dead.
And this is all that I can say,
When all is said and done,
. Those flowers remind me of some girl-

AN AMANA ROMANCE.

What led Herr Schweppe to join the
Amanites no one knew but the elders.
The Amanites did not gossip about it.
They were not given to gossipifig about
anything. Work, duty, God-these
were all their thoughts. But the visit-
ors to the close lying Amana villages
seldom failed to notice that Herr
Schweppe was a gentleman and to won-
der how he came to join the Amanites,
with their plain clothes and their lives
of toil. The mystery was hid in the
books of the elders. There was once a
visitor who claimed that he had had a
glimpse of the page and saw "Bis-
marck" written twice on Herr
Sch weppe's record. Thename was "Von
Sbweppe." too. 'this visitor said, '
though it was only Schweppe now.
Be that as it may, Herr Schweppe's
daughter Annie bore the traits of no-
ble German birth. She was a dark hair-
ed, dark eyed maid, appearing among
the other girls of the community like a
bit of Sevres ware '.nd1d by pieces
of useful but homely plain white china..
Little did the thrifty, godly Amanites
care for such beauty. In Amana a yard
of blue calico was accounted as worth
far more than a dimple.
The sorrows of exile killed Herr
Schweppe when Annie was a child, be-
fore she had grown so beautiful. Annie
had never seen a mirror, and no one
told her of her beauty. Her mother
gloated over it in secret. She loved An-
nie far better than the elders would
have sanctioned, but when the child
was near she was silent and cold. The
life of repression had had its effect On
poor Mother Schweppe.
In Amana the elders discouraged
lovemaking. Men and women entered
the church by different' doors, and a
line of sawdust box cuspidors marked
off the men's side of the house. But
among the girls at the Amana gasthaus
were two persons who did not have the
law of Amana in their hearts. They
were not Amana girls, but came from
outside, for no Amanite would have
permitted his daughter to be subjected
to the gaze of the strangers in the gast-
hans. It was Madge and Nora, alas,
who put all the mischief into Annie's
mind.
June moonlight was falling over the
yellow wheatfields, and the fragrance
of grapevine blossoms on the wall half
intoxicated Annie as she leaned out of
the small, square window next the
slanting roof of her mother's cottage.
It was while Annie was still thinking
of the land that might lie outside of
Amana that Madge and Nora came
along and asked her to go with them to
their pt:irt.y And Aunio stulo away and
went.
A ghostly little party it was, of
Madge and Nora and Annie and only
three others in the hotel kitchen, but
as they sat in the glare of the oil lamp
reflector it seemed to Annie the wildest
dissipation. Two sheepish young
Amanites slouched on the bench at one
side of the kitchen, nervously pulling
their straw hats over their faces if any
one glanced at them. The third young
man was entirely unlike these. Annie,
big eyed and timorous, gazed at him in
wonder. He wore such clothes as fitted
him. His ruddy hair was brushed back
from his ears, not over them, in the
fashion of the Amanites. His face was
clean shaven, his figure lithe and
sinewy, and his merry eyes roved hither
and thither while he regaled the com-
pany with music. It was a mouth organ
which he played, but no matter. To
Annie it was heavenly. She had never
before heard mimusic of any kind, for the
Amanites attached a penalty even to
whistling. Suddenly Annie was trem-
bling and sobbing. and the player, con-
science smitten, ceased his melody.
He was not a great stranger to her,
as Annie had thought. He had not so
very many years ago worn the blue
jean and straw hats of the community.
He was none other than Hermann, the'
son of Herr Tappan, wgm Annie had
often seen in church when a child. The

THE YUKON MOSQUITO.
Drives Moose and Caribou to the Snow
Line and Stings Bears Blind.
Not only do the Yukon mosquitoes
attack men and overwhelm them, but
they drive the moose, deer and caribou
up the mountains to the snow line,
where these animals would prefer not
to be in berry time. They kill dogs,
and even the big brown bear, that is
often miscalled a grizzly, has succumb-
ed to them. Bears come down to the.
river from the hillside in the early fall
to get some of the salmon that are often
thrown upon the banks when the "run"
is heavy.
If bruin runs foul of a swarm of mos-
quitoes and has not his wits about him
his day has come. The insects will
alight all over him. His fur protects
his body, but his eyes, ears and nose
will soon be swollen up and bleeding,
and unless he gets into a rivei or a
strong wind he *ill be driven mad and
blind, to wander about hopelessly until
he starves to death.
Although, the Alaska summer is short,
two broods of mosquitoes hatch out eaoh
year, and are ready for business from
one to ten seconds after they leave the
water. It rains a good deal along the
Yukon, and rain is welcomed, for it
drives the mosquitoes to cover. They
hide under leaves and branches until
the shower is over; then they come out
be-ling with rage at' the time they have
beeu forced to spend in idleness, and the
minor has a harder time than ever after
his respite.
Mosquitoes and snowflakes are not
contemporaries in the States, but in
Alaska it is different. Snow does not
bother them so much as rain, and an
early snow may fall while they are still
on the wing. Fog does not choke them
either. They appear to like it. They
float about in it as in ambush and take
the unwary prospector by surprise.-

Concerning Breakfasts.
The breakfast appetite varies strange
ly. Some persons are content with a
cup of coffee and a piece of toast; oth-
ers make it the most determined meal
of the day. Once it was formidable in-
deed. In Sir John Hawkins' "History
of Music" is quoted a sixteenth century
manuscript belonging to the house of
Northumberland which gives the break-
fast arrangements of the Percy family
both for Lent and for flesh days, and,
oh, how some of us have fallen away in
trencher work! Here is the simple
Northumbrian scheme: "Breakfast for
my lord and lady during Lent: First, a
loaf of bread in trenchers, two manchets
(a manchet was a-small loaf of white
bread), a quart of beer, a quart of wine,
two pieces of salt fish, six baoonn'd her-
ring, four white herring or a dish of
sprats. Breakfast for my Lord Percy
and Master Thomas Percy: Item, half a
loaf of household bread, a manchet, a
bottle of beer, a dish of butter and a'
piece of salt fish, a dish of sprats or
three white herring. Breakfast for the
nursery for my Lady Margaret and Mas-
ter IngeaPeam Percy: Item, a manchet, o
quart of beer (this for the nursery), a
dish of butter, a piece of salt fish, a
dish of sprats or three white herring."
At ordinary times my lord and lady
fared thus: "First, a loaf of bread in
trenchers, two mnanoehets, a quart of
beer, a quart of wine, half a chine of
mutton, or else a cbine of bt,-f L,.i-d,."
Lord'Percy and Master :Lotomas Per.y
disposed of "halt a loaf of householdd
bread, a manchet, one bottle of beer, a
cheeking, or else three mutton bones
boiled," while to the thirsty nursery
went "a manchet, one quart of bee%
and three mutton bones boiled. "-Corn
hill Magazine.
The White House Design.
The White House is an exact copy of
the Duke of Leinster's palace, Dublin.
In March, 1792, the commissioners
on building advertised for "'a plan
for a president's house to be erected in
the city of Washington." The prize
offered was $500, and that of James
Hoban, a young Irish mechanic, was
accepted. The design was supposed to
be original, but when the house was
completed it was -learned that Hoban
had copied it from the duke's palace.
